Linux SMP HOWTO: Alpha architecture specific questions Next Previous Contents

6. Alpha architecture specific questions

6.1 Which Alpha machines are supported ?

(Geerten Kuiper) SMP works for most, if not all, AXP servers.

(Jay A Estabrook) SMP does seem to work on most of our [Compaq] boxes with 2 or more CPUs. That includes :

  • AS2000/2100 (SABLE)
  • AS4000/4100 (RAWHIDE)
  • DS20 (DP264)
  • GS320 (see the bootlog for a 31 CPUs machine)

It does not include :

  • AS2100A (LYNX)
  • TurboLaser bigboys (8200/8400)

(Alpha Processor Inc) SMP support has been qualified for all API SMP systems starting from later 2.2-series kernels (approximately kernel 2.2.7). At the time of writing, that is :

  • DP264
  • UP2000
See API's support website for more info.

6.2 Specific problem related to Alpha SMP support

None (really ? :-)
